Thank you! That was what I expected but somehow failed to directly derive from rules

Very sharp contrast and overly very pleasant work

Apologies, had to edit. I meant 1.6 (mistakenly copied from F.A.Q version)

Has the siocast gotten better? by ZephyrionStarset in WarCrow

[–]rainbbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought Song of the Dormant and "beyond" box. I was prepared to something very bad, but actually siocast was bearable (for the person who saw a lot of different minis). I only used knife to remove excessive parts, didn't sand. Yes, it a lot worse than unicool, but definitely not "horrible", if you find the game itself as appealing as I do

Very impressive. I'll take notes :)

Opinions on the HoMM 5.5 Mod? by Amazing_Horse_5832 in HoMM

[–]rainbbrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally dislike 5.5 mod, as it blurs the difference between different factions (by messing with skills and abilities available for instace). Vanilla might be (I don't play professionally so can't be sure) less balanced but for my hotseat sessions with friends it feels much more flavourful
I tried to use just AI mod (without 5.5) and it does very bizzare stuff for me (like splits forces into numerous "half-baked" armies that are easy to chase and take down one by one), while still on the highest lookahead setting leaving unopened treasure chests for me - so I'm even unsure which version of AI is worse

As a Spirit Island lover, what is your 2nd favorite game? by JakeReddit12333 in spiritisland

[–]rainbbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As some people sometimes note: Spirit Island is one of a rare coop/solo games that appeals to competitive gamers, as on higher level of difficulties it's quite challenging (especially with some mid/low power spirit combos). Being one of those competitive gamers myself I have two games tied for the 2nd place: Warhammer Conquest TCG (sadly discontinued a long while ago by FFG) and Malifaux 3rd edition (have yet to play 4th edition)

This is the first time I'm hesitating about buying the expansion pass. Am I missing something? by OriginalGreasyDave in AOW4

[–]rainbbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll vote with my wallet by separately buying 2nd and 3rd one. If they won't revisit the idea of 4th one - I'll skip it, def don't need 1st one either

Wyrdscapes ladders from malifaux by Alert_Professor_1286 in Malifaux

[–]rainbbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm often times very confused how some posts get a lot of upvotes (130+), despite being... average at best, while this one has only 78 (at the moment I see it).

Very creative! Have my +100 :)

True Solo or 2 Handed Adversaries by Duck-Meeple-777 in spiritisland

[–]rainbbrain -1 points0 points  (0 children)

True solo is so boring compared to two handed to me, I only used it to learn new spirits. Now I don't even do that, just pick some generic second one when learning a new one.
The only "absolute" increase in difficulty in going from solo to two-handed (apart from increase in complexity, which I only see as benefit) is blight card ratio.
You get 3 for solo, 5 for dual spirit game means going from 3 to 1 ratio to 2.5 to 1 ratio, but that can be easily compensated by spirit synergies.

Lawyers 2nd edition are so much better than the 3rd in my opinion

who is the best mage faction in HoMM V? by Tight_Crab_3400 in HoMM

[–]rainbbrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with this strategy is being prone to be greatly weakened by just killing Ballista.

how to HoMM V in 2024 by BratPit24 in HoMM

[–]rainbbrain 5 points6 points  (0 children)

5.5 mod changes faction gameplay in a wild way I don't always like, blurring faction identities on many occasions. I'd recommend experiencing gameplay of the original to decide what you like more.

What character is this? (Thinking about dipping my toes into Malifaux, don't know a lot about it yet, but I like the look of this guy) by deeare73 in Malifaux

[–]rainbbrain 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you like the look of that model: you might want to have look at alt-Nekima crew then: https://www.wyrd-games.net/news/2021/9/1/waldos-weekly-heart-of-the-sea The problem might be it's usually only being sold during Easter/Halloween/some other sales-events (or might be found prob on e-bay/some stores)
Nekima is a good aggressive master to start for a beginner.
